Job description

Le Pain Quotidien means the daily bread. And to us, that means everything. It’s more than mere sustenance; it’s a way of life. As our loaves emerge from the ovens, warm and fragrant, friends gather around our communal tables to share in the time‑honored tradition of breaking bread. The hum of conversation fills the air, jam is passed around the table, and, ever so gracefully, time slows.

• Conduct line checks for quality control
• Use proper tools, equipment, and ingredients for each menu item
• Follow all opening, mid, and closing procedures as directed by checklists and the Kitchen Manager
• Follow and complete Le Pain Quotidien cleaning and food safety checklists to ensure proper food handling

Qualifications

• 1-3 months of related restaurant experience or training
• Previous knife‑handling experience a plus
• Flexibility in schedule is highly preferred but not required
• Ability to be cross‑trained in all areas of the kitchen preferred
